Sudden Heart Attacks and Partners

Spouses of people who suffer sudden heart attacks are at greater risk for suicide and depression — even if the heart attack isn’t fatal.
New research shows that partners of people who suffer sudden heart attacks are more likely to become anxious, suicidal or depressed.
 Emotionally, they suffer more than spouses of people with other kinds of diagnoses.
 If your partner has had a heart attack, be sure to look after your own emotional wellness.
